What have you done to your P5 today?

omgwhat?! (shocked)

You've finally come over to the good side. :)

it's soooo much greener here.

anyway.. Um my post is about what I forgot to do to my protege5.. yesterday. I went out with one of my roommates after I changed my oil to go get dinner around 9:40pm. Well we headed out and drove around the block, realized that neither of us were hungry, and came back. I didn't bother putting the car in the garage because we were probably going to end up going out once we did get hungry in a couple hours :P

Well that didn't happen. My car sat outside overnight; windows down, moonroof open, Alpine face plate installed, ipod jacked in, no club on the steering wheel. (shocked)

All is well though. I guess maybe this neighborhood is a lot safer than I thought, that or a thief looked down my driveway (car is behind the house but you can see it from the road) and saw a wagon and ran away screaming. :P
 
That's why I love where I live right now. Very quiet and safe. Hell, we leave the house open all the time unless we go away for a long time. I've accidently left the garage door open many nights as well. Guess it helps to have a police neighbor with a blue undercover Crown Vic.

your address again.....?
:)
 
:P

Yeah my neighborhood itself is quite safe. There's neighborhood watch in effect big time. Everyone is really friendly and always outside talking with eachother. If there was any suspicious activity someone would notice it. I'm just a bit leery of the fact that our basement door was busted in and wouldn't latch anymore (had to replace the door frame), and the garage door still has a hole in it where someone kicked out the wood panel to unlock the door (the key hole has been screwed with big time on that door too).

I'm just waiting on my landlord to fix stuff. I wish the company I worked for had more consumer-oriented products so I could do a custom access control and fire/security system on the house, rather than going through our main competitor ADT :P

Yeah PM me the address too when you send a message to mark. We'll keep your extremely low mileage P5 "safe". :P

p.s. kinda random but I hit 72,500 today :D

Going for a drive during my lunch break was most excellent. I was reminded just how much I freakin love this car. The syling is to die for, the way it steers and sounds and handles is just droolworthy. I really need to get around to buying the new gauge cluster and all the little plastic clips and such that I've broken so that my car can be at 100%.

I think today when I get back from work I might polish my header so that I don't have to be embarassed to open my hood anymore :P

amen sister!
 
since I am on vacation and bored I removed, spent some time with the wind wheel and medium and fine pads and painted the valve cover with some VHT 'Racing Red'. Installed the plated exhaust shield too. Haven't had time to clean up the rest of compartment but that'll come prolly tomorrow so be gentle.

Lovely wife gave it the thumbs up.
